What position do you initially control on D?

Seeing how my defense is probably a D+ or C-, curious as to what player most most of you control on defense? The MLB? I've been controlling the right line backer or left, and try to always get in on a blitz....doesn't seem to work well.

I switch it up a bit but I usually play DT or MLB. I've tried playing FS or SS but evidently I really suck at those positions so I rarely try anymore unless it's a hail mary or something.

I use the weaker of my two DE's - it's not as cheesy as it been in years past, this year you have to get on the sticks, stay off the turbo and work for a sack.

I use the weaker of the two DEs too. Sometimes I'll control a linebacker if he's in zone or a corner if he's in a flat zone.

Left Defensive End....MONEY IN THE BANK. For those that say the pass rush isn't in Madden 10, I have set an all-time nfl record for sack with rookie Michael Johnson in only the 6th game of the season on All-Pro. I actually LOVE the way playing as a defensive end feels and making moves with the right stick.

Nose Tackle for 3-4. DE for 4-3.

If I'm playing as a 4-3 DE, or have the LBs subbed at De package in, I control my best DE or OLB. I want my opponent to account for him, each and every single snap.

I'll control a 3-4 edge rusher from time to time, and once in ablue moon, a safety or nickle/dime back.

I also prefer to contorl the DL, because I can get real creative with pre-snap defensive playmaker controls.

I'll assign DL's to drop back into coverage, to spy, assign a DE to a back if I sniff screen..

Sometimes I'll call a man coverage blitz, and have the entire DL assigned to drop back into coverage.

I think it is a pretty good way to disguise defenses in this game.
